Speaker feedback

After every talk, Emblema gives your audience a frictionless way to leave feedback through a QR code. The platform aggregates the responses and shows them at /dashboard/speaker/feedback.

How the post-talk QR code works​

When an application is accepted for an event, Emblema automatically generates a feedback URL that follows this pattern:

/feedback/talk/<speakerId>/<talkId>/<applicationId>

There are two ways to expose this link to attendees:

  • The Space prints it on the agenda board, on screen during the talk, or on a printed leaflet.
  • You display it yourself on your last slide. The talk page in your dashboard at /dashboard/speaker/talks/<id> shows a QR code generator you can download as PNG/SVG.

Attendees scan the QR, sign in to Emblema (if they are not already), and submit the form once. The platform deduplicates submissions per attendee.

Read the feedback you received​

The feedback dashboard groups the responses by talk and by event:

  • Talk view (/dashboard/speaker/feedback?view=talk) — average rating per talk in your catalog. Useful to see which talk consistently performs best.
  • Event view (/dashboard/speaker/feedback?view=event) — feedback per delivery. Useful to compare how the same talk landed at different events.

For each entry you can see:

  • Average rating (1 – 5) for content, delivery and slides.
  • Distribution of the ratings.
  • The free-form comments left by attendees.

Anonymity​

By default attendee identity is not shown to you — you only see the rating and the comment text. Some Spaces may opt-in to identifiable feedback for private workshops or training sessions; in that case the attendee will be shown explicitly.

Aggregated metrics on your public page​

The averaged feedback feeds the speaker rating shown on your public page at /speaker/<username> — but only after a minimum number of responses has been collected (the platform hides ratings based on too few data points).

Earning feedback badges​

Receiving feedback consistently feeds the Feedback badge family on the received feedback axis. Submitting feedback as a participant feeds the same family on a different axis (see Participant feedback).

Tips for higher response rates​

  • Show the QR code on your last slide for at least 30 seconds.
  • Mention it explicitly: "If the talk was useful, please scan this QR and leave a quick rating — it really helps me improve."
  • Include the link in the slide deck PDF you publish; people scrolling through the deck after the event will still leave feedback.

Troubleshooting​

  • No feedback shows up. Confirm the application is Accepted and the event has actually started — the form rejects submissions for events that have not started yet.
  • The QR points at a 404. The application may have been withdrawn or the event removed. Re-generate the QR after fixing the underlying issue.
  • A feedback entry I expected is missing. Submissions are written when the attendee taps Submit. If a network error happened, the attendee will need to re-open the form.
